Saginaw resident sees both hope and uncertainty in Obama speech to nation

SAGINAW — Anna E. Nachbar sees hope in President Barack Obama’s call for change during his State of the Union address Tuesday.

“The speech itself was uplifting and positive and I see a lot of possibility, but for me it’s a wait and see,” the 52-year-old Saginaw woman said. “I just wonder about that major group of people who are floundering.”

The address covered many areas, but lacked details in just as many, she said. And it didn’t have much to say to help the lower middle class, she said.

“People need something a little more concrete,” she said. “He’s still grasping, but getting better.”

How hopeful is she about the president’s call for more jobs? “We’ll see,” she said. “It’s a speech.”
